Personally, I love a drink that surprises me with something different in every sip, which is why I only blended ice cream and milk together here but added all remaining components separately.

It’s a French vanilla ice cream mix that is layered with pumpkin spice chocolate ganache, a fresh shot of espresso and a shot (or more) of coffee liqueur. When you take a sip (or spoonful) you may get vanilla or espresso or chocolate or a pocket of liqueur, it’s a surprise every time.

The pumpkin spice flavor (a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, clove, ginger and mace) is subtle but gives the shake a nice complexity.

I went to a summer fair the other day and was given milk shake made with milk, sugary synthetic tasting syrup and crushed ice cubes. I was so disappointed, I could have cried!! Now this..this is a milkshake worth every single calorie! So beautifully shot I wish I could just reach in and take that ice cold glass of heaven… <3 <3 <3

Hi, I’m from India who bought the photoshop program from your website but unlucky i only downloaded 7 links out of 11 links due to my bad network. After log in again the link is expired …so can you pls give me any advice that I can download the rest link again
Thanks you

Nicole, Amazing as usual! Love, love, love it, and I have everything. Plus Pumpkin Pie Spice ganache. Where has that been hiding?
Question: I wonder if you tried making the ganache with white chocolate and didn’t like it together or if you just always prefer it with dark and milk chocolate?

Thank you, Melinda! And good question, I actually did try to make it with white chocolate several times but I found it very difficult, the white chocolate always broke on me. Could have been the brand I was using or perhaps I needed a different technique. I need to look into that again! Thank you for reminding me! :)

What I wouldn’t give to have that waiting for me this afternoon when I finish all the gardening I have to do. If that were waiting for me I’d have my work done at warp speed :-)My Fitbit would go wild with buzzing and shaking with all my activity. YUM!! What a gorgeous dessert/drink!! Beautiful shot as usual!!
